https://stevemunro.ca/2025/08/28/ttc-service-changes-august-31-2025/ The service change detail is finally up there. Glad 50 Burnhamthorpe is finally getting 1 more buses during the PM rush hours.. With increasing traffic volume around Islington Station and Burnhamthorpe Rd during the afternoon rush, it didn't make sense that the route is getting same amount of travel time and headway during the daytime and PM rush.. resulting in much longer wait times during the rush hour.. However, I still do not understand why 50 is getting better service level during the weekends than the weekdays? as I always see the buses being empty during the weekend.

when will the TTC make the next round of service changes public? It seems like they are always late now (wasn't it typically public at least couple of weeks before the implementation?)

TTC: 8898 on 50 Burnhamthorpe

All of sudden, Queensway division became a retirement home for the older fleets.. Given 8100-8219 and 8300s are retiring faster than I thought, there could be a chance which all of them could be gone by the end of the year.. right?

TTC started to go down hill since Rob Ford fired Gary Webster since Ford pushed for the subways and underground transit while Webster had other ideas.. Ford families are definitely a cancerous family in Toronto

So where the hell is a service improvement which was announced soon after Chow was elected?

Anyone know when the TTC will release their next service change in September?

Doug Ford and his government is probably the most incompetent government I've ever seen.. A lot of people say Mike Harris was way worse than Ford, but I didn't experience his era since I came to Canada in 2008. The reality is there are so many people who loves ford and give a fellatio to him. so he could govern until his death. like Putin or Kim Jong-un

In that rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if all of them will be gone by the next weekend.

Wow... those 8100 are being scrapped faster than I thought.

If those second batches are coming, then why some of the McNicoll Novas are being sent at the same time? Are they going to retire some of 8100-8219 soon after 8000-8099?

8025 has been idle since last Friday (7/19) also 8072 has been idle since the 23rd. Maybe those two are on the chopping block now?

8076 is on 52 Lawrence West?

10 ORION Vll Diesel are on route as of 4:45pm today 8019, 8030: 37 Islington 8079: 44 Kipling South 8029, 8034, 8086: 46 Martin Grove 8041: 110 Islington South 8063: 111 East Mall 8099: 112 West Mall 8098: 501 Queen 8076 is on 52 Lawrence West??? 8025, 8072, 8079 is in the garage

Given Queensway already has 8100-8219 (115 vehicles, 5 retired) 8300-8334 (35 vehicles) I thought it would be only 3300-3369 which will be moving in since Queensway never had more than 210 vehicles.. and I am wondering how many of Novas will come in
